    CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DINESH KUMAR SINGH
    ORAL JUDGMENT
    Date: 14-02-2017

                         Heard      learned      counsel     for    the   petitioners   and

        respondents.

                         The present writ application has been filed for quashing

        the part of the office order no. 188 dated 30.11.2006 issued under the

        signature of the Executive Engineer, Public Health Engineering

        Division, Sitamarhi (respondent no.8), as contained in Annexure-12

        whereby the services of the petitioners and others have been directed

        to be regularized with effect from 2006 against sanctioned posts

        instead of 17.08.1982 the date from which the petitioners were

        working as „Work Charge Employee‟. Hence petitioners claim for

        their regularization since 17.08.1982 and be treated as regular

        employee since then. Further prayer has been made for payment of

        other consequential financial benefits. The relief claimed by the

        petitioners as made in paragraph no.1 of the writ application reads as

        follows:-

                         "1(i). For quashing that part of the direction as
                           contained in office order no. 188 dated 30.11.2006
                           communicated to the petitioners vide memo no. 1019
                           dated 30.11.2016 issued under the signature of the
                           Executive       Engineer,       Public   Health    Engineering
 Patna High Court CWJC No.15885 of 2007 dt.14-02-2017

                                         3/4




                           Division, Sitamarhi (respondent no.8) as contained in
                           Annexure-12 whereby and whereunder the services of
                           the petitioners and others have been directed to be
                           regularized with immediate effect against sanctioned
                           posts ignoring the grievances of the petitioners in the
                           matter of their earlier illegal reversion after nearly 20
                           years of regular services from regular establishment to
                           daily wage employment.
                         (ii) For commanding the respondent to regularize/shift
                           the date of regularization of the services of the
                           petitioners w.e.f. 17.08.1992 in the facts and
                           circumstances         of    the   case   fully   enumerated
                           hereinbelow with all consequential benefits including
                           the maintenance and grant of service conditions
                           including pension and G.P.F. as existing in the year
                           1982.
                         (iii) For grant of any other incidental, consequential and
                           other appropriate relief/reliefs to which the petitioner
                           may be found entitled."



                         Learned counsel for the petitioners very fairly submits

        that the Government vide resolution no.10710 dated 17.10.2013

        issued under the signature of Addl. Secretary, Finance Government of

        Bihar as contained in Annexure-15 took a decision to keep the daily

        wages work charge employees whose services were reverted or

        subsequently regularized in the year 2006, under the G.P.F. scheme

        instead of C.P.F. scheme, to provide them Assured Career Promotion
          Patna High Court CWJC No.15885 of 2007 dt.14-02-2017

                                                  4/4




                 and to compute services spent as work charge employees for the

                 pensionary benefits. It is further submitted that the claim of similarly

                 situated employees have been allowed by this Court vide order dated

                 12.04.2012

passed in L.P.A. No. 631 of 2013, hence the present writ application be disposed of to consider the case of the petitioners in view of the resolution of Finance Department dated 17.10.2013 as contained in Annexure-15 as well as order passed in L.P.A. No. 631 of 2013 as contained in Annexure-16.
